How to prevent dry skin from regular hand washing

As the government advise is to wash hands regularly I'm sure you have noticed how dry your hands are and for some with sensitive skin this has caused cracked sore knuckles. The advise to follow is vital so what's the best Herbfarmacy products to care for your hands?

Detergent-free Soap

Made on our organic farm in Herefordshire, with Marshmallow and Calendula herbs, our Field Fresh Hand Soap is detergent-free and soothes dry, chapped and sensitive hands. Detergents in soaps are known to dry the skin out so it's always best to avoid this ingredient. Our signature herb Marshmallow has gentle yet
powerful properties that soothe and moisturise the skin, giving it a luxuriously soft, silky feel. Calendula herb is a fantastic healing conditioner for irritated and sensitive skin.

Make sure you moisturise

Moisturise is key to help look after your mitts! Our Calendula & Mint Hand Cream is intensely hydrating and will soothe the skin. With the ingredient Comfrey this cream helps improve skin elasticity and promote cell growth and traditionally, Comfrey’s healing powers have been used to heal cuts and cracked skin.  Apply our hand cream generously at night and wear our cotton gloves to allow the cream to absorb in keeping your hands supple and hydrated for longer.

For a more intensive treatment for very dry hands or cracked knuckles our Skin Rescue Balm will help heal and regenerate. It forms a protective layer to calm irritation. With Marshmallow root to seal in moisture, Comfrey to repair and renew and Chickweed to relieve itching, this is a great all-rounder that will soften and soothe inflamed and sensitive skin.
